MTB tyres for MTB kids
Pneumatic mtb tyres are essential for off-road riding. The air filled tyres with deep tread significantly increase grip, giving your little one the confidence they need to tackle the trails. Air filled tyres also act as suspension, dampening bumps and roots along the way for a smoother ride.
The perfect brake for balance bikes
Learning to brake before pedaling is an important step in a kids mtb journey, and we believe that hydraulic disc brakes are the best option for balance bikes.
Not only do they provide more power, but require far less hand strength to operate than V brakes, making them ideal for little hands. We’ve also created the world’s first child safe rotor guard, for parent's peace of mind.
Easy reach brake lever
The Magura HC1 brake lever has some of the best reach adjustment on the market – meaning you can set the lever much closer to the handlebars than other brakes, a critical factor in usability for small hands with limited reach.

My daughter is 20 months old and she won’t let it go! The bike is super light, easy to step over, and beautifully finished. You can tell it’s built to last.

I was afraid it might be too early, but my son gained confidence in just a few minutes. Balance comes naturally, and he’s so proud to ride on his own.
Great product, fast delivery, easy to assemble. My grandson uses it every day and is clearly improving. I highly recommend it.
